The sound of footsteps from outside reminded the two masters inside that the main master had arrived.

The emperor directly exempted his wife and daughter, took Concubine Yi's hand, and walked into the side hall, Hui Jia gave a look, and Qing Wei and Zhou Ting went down to ask someone to pass the meal.

"I discussed with those ministers of the previous dynasty, and I forgot the time for a while, and my concubine waited for a long time." The Emperor opened his placket and sat down, explaining the reason for his late arrival.

When Concubine Yi heard this, she smiled intellectually, "The concubine is not hungry, she used some snacks with Huijia earlier, and now she is just having a meal." ”

After saying this, his eyes fell on Hui Jia.

Hui Jia looked at the emperor with a pout, and joked: "As soon as my father arrived at Jingren Palace, his eyes were full of his mother's concubine. ”

The emperor smiled without surprise, stared at Yi Guifei and lowered her head and showed her flushed cheeks, and asked, "Really?" ”

"Huijia's children are the naughtiest, and the emperor also believes what she said?" The concubine tried her best to preserve her elegance, so naturally she wouldn't admit it, but everyone present had already tacitly agreed to it.

"Okay, let's pass the meal." The emperor smiled heartily, but he dissipated some of the gloom in his heart.

When Zhou Ting heard the sound, he directly asked the palace maid who followed him to serve the food, and the sauerkraut pot was placed in the middle.

Jingren Palace has never needed people to prepare food, they are all eating and drinking by themselves, like ordinary people, more intimate and gentle.

And Concubine Yi is always the woman who gives food to her husband and children. "The imperial dining room said that the emperor's appetite has not been very good recently, and the concubine specially ordered to make this sauerkraut pot, and the emperor will eat more."

Hui Jia took a deep breath of aroma and couldn't wait to stretch out his chopsticks to taste it, "It's really delicious!" Father, eat it! ”

The emperor glanced at the sauerkraut in the bowl, picked up the chopsticks and brought them to his mouth, and when he took a bite, he felt his appetite was great, "The concubine has a heart."

This kind of dish was prepared half a day or a day earlier than the imperial dining room, and there were so many delicacies waiting on the fire that they could be quickly placed on the table after the meal was passed down, and it was already better than the best time to enjoy it.

When the emperor was alive, there was a small kitchen for his own son and mother, and when he came, there was neither a queen nor a queen. Is it because the emperor still often goes to the palaces to eat, those concubines who mean to please him, will always pay out of their own pockets to order food in the imperial dining room, and he is also happy, which not only gives dignity, but also solves the problem of meals.

"It is within the concubine's share to share the emperor's worries, the emperor eats well, and the concubines are also comfortable."

Hui Jiacai didn't care about the "courtesy exchange" between his father and mother's words, and he ate very comfortably, for fear that the food would be cold if they ate slowly, "Father, try this steamed cabbage with duck, which is also made by the mother." ”

"It's all good." Although these two dishes are delicious, as an emperor, you still have to use a little of each, so that you can be full enough.

After eating, the three of them put down their chopsticks, removed the plate and put on the tea, and only after rinsing their mouths did they get to the point.

"I discussed with the envoys of Chi this morning, and they asked to marry my princess, but I haven't made a decision yet, what do you two think?"

Although Yi Guifei and Hui Jia knew the content, they both made surprised performances, and they did not leak.

The princesses who are of the right age to marry are only Hui Jia and Hui Jia, and they are not considered to be their own children, which is to force him to establish Concubine Yi as the queen.

Concubine Yi had to make her surprise a little more real, her original surprise was not small, but she couldn't be suspected, if the emperor suspected her of colluding with other countries, any concubine, any princess, she could not do it all.

"This ...... How did the concubine and Hui Jia manage the master......"

The emperor held the lid of the cup and skimmed the non-existent foam, but in fact, he was looking at the expressions of his wife and daughter, and his expression could not be faked under nervousness.

He smiled, the lid of the cup slammed against the wall of the cup, making a crunch sound, and the tea was not in his mouth, "I won't say anything, just like a normal family, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Having said that, Concubine Yi still has to be cautious, after all, as the saying goes: A companion is like a tiger.

"Then the concubine will tell her thoughts, and the emperor will just listen to it."

The emperor took a sip of tea and said "um".

"According to the concubine's point of view, Chi Guo only dared to blackmail Da Zhou with great fanfare when he occupied the sky, if it was placed in the past, when did Da Zhou take a look at Chi Guo, it was not because Da Zhou was now in the predicament of limited military rations that he dared to take advantage of the fire to rob."

This is a woman's opinion, but it is used to dispel the emperor's doubts.

The emperor smiled when he heard this, "You go on, don't worry about me." ”

"Yes."

"The concubine feels that although it is a little difficult to completely restrain Chi Guo, there is no shortage of heroic men in Da Zhou, if I marry a princess like this, wouldn't it damage the majesty of my Da Zhou? Besides, it's not like we can't survive these two years, maybe there will be some earth-shaking changes at that time, and the emperor's decision will not have to be clamped. ”
